Callum

Callum by Malorie Blackman

 

 

 

 

 

Date Finished: 12/11/12

Pages: 65

When I saw this short book on Amazon UK yesterday i thought even though its only 65 pages I must download it. I have read every book in Malorie’s noughts and crosses series, so didn’t want to overlook this ebook.

Callum was published in April this year, and the book is told through the eyes of Callum after the LM kidnap Sephy. I do feel you need to have read the series in order to then read this book, and understand what is occurring. However fans of the series will soon notice that this book has an alternative ending something which may/may not be liked.

75% of the ebook was Callum and 25% of the 65 pages was an extract from another book.

Overall, i was a little disappointed that there was not much more given in this book. I wanted more!

Therefore…

Sundays in Bed With … #6

Time for another Sundays in Bed with…

This morning I was in bed reading The Dating Game by Susan Buchanan.

I received this kindle book for review by the author and can’t wait to properly get stuck into its plot.

Susan Buchanan is a wonderful writer and both me and Specs love her style.

So if you can’t wait for our review, go buy it yourself at Amazon UK

The man with the green suitcase

The Man with The Green Suitcase by Dee Doanes

Date Finished: 10/11/2012

Pages: 310

I received this book for review by the author. It includes a number of characters (instead of the common 1 or 2 main ones) and they are cleverly brought together due to the mysterious happenings by ‘the man with the green suitcase’.

The first few pages started off slow, I found myself finding it hard to follow the plot at times. However once the story started to unravel (after about pg 55), it was worth it.

I read the book in a few hours, only stopping once because I needed to eat!

Dee writes beautifully and I fell in love with the realistic characters and the magic within. What I loved more than anything is…I didn’t see what was coming at the end! Most mystery books are predictable and you can usually see what is coming, but not this one. To be a good book, the book has to end well and this one did.

Mysterious and magical, definitely worth a read!

Congratulations to Dee Doanes on her great book

Stacking the Shelves #1

So while searching memes to include on the blog in between reviews, we came across the popular Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews.

It is a way for bloggers to write about the books they have gained recently, whether borrowed/brought/gained for review or found 🙂

We will be posting our Stacking The Shelves post every Saturday so keep an eye out!

Although unusually small for us, here is the list of books/ebooks we have acquired recently:

1. The Dating Game by Susan Buchanan

2. Daddy’s home by A.K Alexander

3. In the blood by Steve Robinson

4. Strange Love by Victoria Pearson

That’s it for now, but please get in touch and let us know what books you have brought/gained recently and whether or not they were any good.

We are getting there…

Hi Guys,

As you may have noticed, things have been rather quiet on the blog front.

Now that our exams are over, we have both been trying to get used to our new terms and work schedule and trying to minimise our pile of books received from authors to review – pleased to announce we are now down to just two!

So you should now see us getting back to normal soon, and thanks to those who we have received support messages from during this time 🙂
